Came home from a long but good day at the ceramics studio to find my Hugo Finalist pin in the mail!!

Received as being part of the utterly AMAZING team skeleton @thedeadlands.com 🖤🖤🖤💀
A picture of me smiling at the camera with my hand near my little silver Hugo Finalist pin, which is a rocket ship. My certificate from Seattle Worldcon 2025 which announces The Deadlands as Hugo finalist for Best Semiprozine.
